A big thank you to my neighborly neighbor, Cory Gayman, who dug out a foot path from the street to my door – twice. And thank goodness the sidewalk destruction/construction people are back to work on my little corner of El Dorado Springs. I know they didn’t deliberately dig a hole and walk away to

When we first moved to El Dorado Springs in 1979 I didn’t know what to expect, but I did know that Missouri had snow and I thought that would be great – lovely white fluffy snow drifting down from the sky as you sit by the window and drink hot chocolate. I did not occur

It has been seven years since I attempted the Rock Wall. The only reason I do, is because Kenny isn’t feeling well. That leaves the newspaper to me and Davis and Gwen – veterans of taking up the slack and getting things done that Kenny would have otherwise done. Now it is me behind the

A reader called Wednesday to find out what Don Boultinghouse wished for. Somehow at 2 a.m. Tuesday morning, that part of the Rock Wall got covered up with another article. We’re going to try to get the troops to be more carful on jumps. Here’s what it said, “-Christmas Day, Tom told me that Donald
